When Twilight gets word that the changelings are about to invade Canterlot... again. She quickly hurries to the rescue as fast as she can. But the two royal sisters seem completly unconcerned by the upcoming attack. Actually they find it hilarious.

Chrysalis, now queen of an extinct race, must go to the nearest town, Ponyville, to gather love and rebuild her race. But she never expected the Element of Magic to take her in voluntary. What will come out of this friendship and need to feed?

After the disastrous invasion of Canterlot, an injured changeling wakes up near a small cottage and is quickly discovered by two of the last ponies she ever wanted to see. Now, with the help of her new "friends," she has to remain undetected in a town high on changeling hysteria that would not hesitate to throw her in the Canterlot dungeons should her true nature be revealed.

Simple, right?

Too bad she couldn't have picked a worse form to stay inconspicuous...

Just so we're clear, if you end the chapter like that, you're obligated to write more. It's kind of a shame her Daring Do disguise fell away. Still, it's probably for the best - Rainbow Dash would've exploded, then exploded again.

Oh, I'm REALLY liking this. I can't believe the idea of a story focusing on a single changeling never presented itself in my mind as a thing that could end up happening, but there you go.

Thank god Rainbow Dash wasn't one of the ones who ran into Mirror Match first. She'd have noticed that she was disguising herself as Daring Do. And I wouldn't put it against Twilight to have picked up on that too. As is, she seems to be in the hands of the two most accepting ponies of the bunch. Which isn't to say there won't be beautiful shenanigans later on...

Funny, I had a similar idea - except the changeling came to collect food for the little ones, now that everychangeling was starving. I wasn't planning on writing anything, though - I have enough on my plate writing-wise as-is!

This looks interesting. I'm gonna watch this to see where it goes. I do like how your not going the "sympathetic misunderstood villain" route. You set forwards from the start what changelings are and found a way to make a single one (thankfully not Queen Chrystalis) separate from the swarm and portray her cause sympathetically without degrading the characterization into cliche.

All the changeling stories I've read so far either have them stay hidden the whole time or reveal themselves just at the end, and they're almost always about Crysalis. I love how this one is doing it different, not to mention well. Tracking. ♥

dear prinses celestia i learnend to day that a black pony is evil pony......discrimination is a form of friendship that you would like to evoid att all cost<.< *seeing avatar* ow yeah... i just burned my self...nice >.>

513088 Well...1) Your changeling was able to recover from the pulse in a few minutes while here it's implied the changeling was out for a while.2) Here the changeling has lost it's means of offence and defence via magic.3) In your story the changeling was able to blend in with the pony society pretty fast while here it's attempt has failed due to it's face having an early appointment with that tree.4)Your changeling still has been lucky not to encounter the mane six while here it met two already, and exposed it's true nature to them too.

I just feel like the two stories are different, ya know? And I like them both because they are so different.
